The Trail of Painted Ponies Trail of Tears

A dramatic and moving follow-up to the bestselling “Wounded Knee,” “Trail of Tears” respectfully remembers one of the saddest episodes in American and Native American history: the forced relocation of the Cherokee Indians from their Tribal Lands in Oklahoma during the brutal winter of 1838. This Painted Pony represents the struggle of the Cherokee people who were made to march more than a thousand miles under the worst possible conditions. There were many losses during this long march, it is said that a beautiful Cherokee Rose grew wherever a tear had fallen, in remembrance of those who were lost. Somehow the Cherokee managed to survive the cold and the snow, their dignity intact, in the belief there were better days to come.

The Trail of Painted Ponies, like its predecessor, the Cow Parade, are beautiful, often humorous, replicas of the original public art displays. The original Trail of Painted Ponies consisted of life-sized ponies, painted and decorated by top artists from across the country. They were displayed in public places throughout New Mexico, after which they were auctioned off with most of the proceeds going to youth, arts, social, cultural, animal and environmental non-profit organizations.
Westland Giftware has created these figurine replicas of the original Trail of Painted Ponies. The figurines are either resin or ceramic, and each is hand-numbered. The whimsical designs and beautiful craftsmanship make them an instant favorite for any collector or horse lover. Crystal Palace carries the full line of painted ponies, including special seasonal designs.
